Do you Quinoa?

I've pretty much replaced fish with quinoa for lunch. I cook it up in the same giant covered frying pan with the same sort of cut up onion, carrot and squash as I used to cook my fish. I really can't afford the sort of fish I like, and quinoa suits my budget. The nutrition experts claim that quinoa's extremely healthy. There haven't been the negative revelations like those about tofu.

I cook it by sautéing the vegetables, then adding the quinoa and then some boiling water. After a few minutes I leave it covered, not only with the frying pan cover, also with a towel to keep the heat in and prevent burning.

I just hope it doesn't have too many carbohydrates for me. I eat eggs as my protein for breakfast and poultry for dinner.
